[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a millennial who loved that 70s show, it’s hard to believe that such a beloved character could be such a creep. I 100% believe his victims. No one should get away with awful crimes, but it does suck to be the one person finally caught and to some extent, made an example of. I think we’re so used to celebrities getting away with things based on accusations being unfathomable based on their tv/film personas. If he hadn’t portrayed the lovable cynic on a tv show, I wouldn’t differentiate him from any other rapist. [/quote]

Gently, I think you need to learn to separate the characters someone plays, or their public persona, from who they are as a person. The character he played on a television show has zero to do with his capacity for committing these crimes. They are unrelated.

You will have an easier time in life if you learn that you don't know actors or celebrities or other public people, and that the warm feelings you have towards these people are based on imaginary stories and PR skill. They could be anyone -- they might be wonderful or terrible, most likely somewhere in between with the capacity for great kindness AND terrible cruelty.

As a general rule, the more powerful someone is, the more likely it is that they could harm someone. That doesn't mean that all powerful people hurt others, but powerful people can hurt people much, much more. So it's good to have a healthy skepticism with regards to people who are rich, famous, charismatic, or otherwise powerful. They are more dangerous than average people.[/quote]

Totally, not disagreeing. [/quote]
